:02:20. > :02:22.And not only that, I also gave Kieran the surprise of his life.
:02:23. > :02:47.My goodness! This is impressive. Although there are no people in it,
:02:48. > :02:53.you can feel the energy. I know that sounds really cliche, but honestly,

:03:39. > :03:43.OK? Yes, this is really weird. So because you want to be a

:03:54. > :03:58.about wheelchair racing? Through the London Marathon. Even
:03:59. > :04:03.from the age of four, I always wanted to watch the marathon because
:04:04. > :04:07.it was the only race where you could see wheelchairs on television.
:04:08. > :04:13.What are you expecting from the Commonwealth Games?
:04:14. > :04:18.I will just do my best on the day. I do not like putting too much
:04:19. > :04:23.pressure on myself. I train to win. I would love to win a Gold medal in
:04:24. > :04:31.Hampden Park and for England. That is the aim. But any medal will do.
:04:32. > :04:35.Thank you very much. You are welcome.
:04:36. > :04:42.I cannot believe you kept this from me all day! Thank you so much. So,
:04:43. > :04:48.so much! And to hear more from Kieran,
